Judge Dredd: Dredd VS Death
Delivers what was intended, but could have been so much more.
Judge Dredd is a simplistic FPS more or less on rails, taking you through various locales in your hunt for criminal elements. Each level sees you facing a specific opponent or faction, and sometimes allows for secondary ... Read Full Review

Alpha Prime
A game that relies on so many tired clichées, yet still doesn't manage to do anything entertaining with them.
Alpha Prime is the umpteenth entry into the stagnant genre of sci-fi shooters and it has been quite some time since I encountered a game so devoid of personality or soul. As the player you take the role of a reluctant mi... Read Full Review

Sanxion
A case of split vision...
Among the side scrolling space shooters, Sanxion will always be remembered for its bewildering screen layout where the action is shown simultaneously on two different screens. The main screen is a traditional parallax si... Read Full Review

Delta
Simply the best side scrolling shooter on the C64. Period.
Delta is yet another in the long line of side scrolling space shooters, but what sets it apart from the rest is its excellent controls and clever upgrade system. Your excuse for going to war this time is a hiccup in rela... Read Full Review

Lightforce
"Ships of unknown origin landing at key installations!"
Now how's that for a briefing? The colonies in the Regulus sector have apparently come under attack and as the sole representative of the GEM council you are sent to assist, your ship being the only one patrolling the se... Read Full Review

Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption
The ingredients are in here, but unfortunately fail to produce that just-one-more-go factor.
After recently finishing this game I find my sentiments summed up more or less by the GS review. Redemption is a great achievement in creating a beautiful and competent game that oozes with atmosphere and personality. Mu... Read Full Review

M.I.A.: Missing in Action (1998)
A must play for all fans of helicopter shooters!
M.I.A. is an ambitious and highly entertaining 3d helicopter shooter aiming for a semi-realistic experience of the Vietnam war. Your alter ego Captain Mann enlists for four increasingly difficult tours of duty in which h... Read Full Review

Boiling Point
Flawed execution stops what could have been a classic.
I'm taking a break from Boiling Point to review it after having encountered a crash some 30 hours into the campaign when I noticed that all my save games had become corrupted. Even with the 250 Mb patch applied there are... Read Full Review

Hostile Waters
BattleZone, eat your heart out!
Ever since I first laid eyes on this gem of a game I was hooked. This is a beautiful action-strategy hybrid of the same breed as BattleZone, minus the base construction element. Instead, Hostile Waters features a carrier... Read Full Review

Hell-Copter
Where's that power-up?
Hell-Copter is a fast-paced and rather mindless 3d-shooter, its style similar to M.I.A. and to some extent the Desert Strike series. That said, the focus here is solely on action. Each mission is introduced with a very m... Read Full Review

Throne of Darkness
A Diablo clone offering some new takes on the well known formula
Throne of Darkness plays much like Diablo but has some new takes on the gameplay, mainly by making you head honcho over a team of seven warriors, out of which up to four can be present on the screen at any given time. Yo... Read Full Review

Iron Storm
Something stinks, and it is not the mustard gas...
Yeah, you all heard of this game's big selling point; the year is 1964, the first world war is still going on, yet here you are in the thick of it, running around with a laser guided sniper rifle in trenches rendered obs... Read Full Review

Frustratingly hard, yet strangely compelling
Stranded somewhere in a solar system far away from home you and your crew are struggling trying to find the means to allow you to return home. You have to navigate your ship from planet to planet trading cargo along the ... Read Full Review

MissionForce: CyberStorm
Excellent turn based combat in the brilliant Starsiege universe
Much like the original Earthsiege Mech combat simulator you are in charge of a building a contingent of HERCs (the Earthsiege term for Mech), only this time the action has shifted from action to turn based strategy. Prov... Read Full Review

Star Wars: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter - Balance of Power
Much needed content to breathe life back into XvT.
X-Wing vs. T.I.E. Fighter got a lot of flak over the absence of a proper campaign, and rightfully so, since the single player content was abysmal. Although Totally Games shipped XvT with a load of practice missions, many... Read Full Review

Syndicate Wars
A good update of the classic.
Syndicate Wars improved on the original in almost every aspect. The most obvious was the shift to a fully 3D destructible city. The old game suffered in hiding what was going on behind tall buildings, and still the new 3... Read Full Review

Steel Beasts

Odium (1999)
Allow yourself to be drawn into the twisted world of Odium.
Odium is a simplistic yet entertaining squad level tactical game, kind of like a turn based variant of Abomination. Your team of three elite soldiers, usually aided by one or more NPCs that wander about the mission area,... Read Full Review

It's got style!
Motorhead got quite a bashing for being too superficial and flashy, and not interesting enough in the actual gaming department. While it is true that this is no in-depth racing sim, it produced a number of highly intoxic... Read Full Review

Line of Sight: Vietnam (Sold Out)

Gunlok

Future Cop: L.A.P.D.

Expendable
